Texto de BBC del día:
Sir Tim Berners-Lee: World wide web needs bill of rights.
The inventor of the world wide web has marked the 25th anniversary of his creation by calling for a 'Magna Carta' bill of rights to protect its users.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee told BBC Breakfast the issue could be compared to the importance of human rights.
He has been an outspoken critic of government surveillance following a series of leaks from ex-US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Sir Tim called on people to take action and protest against surveillance.
'Communal decision'
He told BBC Breakfast the online community has now reached a crossroads.
"It's time for us to make a big communal decision," he said. "In front of us are two roads - which way are we going to go?
"Are we going to continue on the road and just allow the governments to do more and more and more control - more and more surveillance?
"Or are we going to set up a bunch of values? Are we going to set up something like a Magna Carta for the world wide web and say, actually, now it's so important, so much part of our lives, that it becomes on a level with human rights?"
Sir Tim said the internet should be a "neutral" medium that can be used without feeling "somebody's looking over our shoulder".
He called for vigilance against surveillance by its users, adding: "The people of the world have to be constantly aware, constantly looking out for it - constantly making sure through action, protest, that it doesn't happen."
Sir Tim has previously warned that surveillance could threaten the democratic nature of the web.
He has also spoken out in support of Mr Snowden, saying his actions were "in the public interest".
The idea that the world wide web would end up playing such a huge role in people's lives would have seemed "crazy" 25 years ago, said Sir Tim.
He admitted that the web represented "humanity connected", involving both the "wonderful" and the "ghastly".
But he added: "I don't have a lot of sympathy with people who say: 'There's so much rubbish on the web.'
"Well, if there's so much rubbish, if it's rubbish, don't read it. Go read something else."
The web we want campaign has been set up by Sir Tim'sWorld Wide Web Foundation to coincide with the 25th anniversary and aims to protect human rights online.

I'm AlexVillarreal with the VOASpecial EnglishTechnologyReport, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish
The world has almost seven billion people. At least two billion are expected to be on the Internet by January. New growth is mostly from developing countries. Yet only twenty-one percent of their population is online. A group called the World Wide Web Foundation is working to make the Web more usable to more of the world. Tim Berners-Lee is the British computer scientist who invented the World Wide Web. He announced the launch of the Web Foundation last November.The group says many people can access the Web but are unable to use it. The biggest reason is illiteracy. The latest United Nations report says almost eight hundred million adults are unable to read or write. Even for those who can read, much of the information that is available on the Web is not in a language they can understand. Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the idea for the World Wide Web in nineteen eighty-nine. This was twenty years after Americans developed the first version of what we know as the Internet. The Internet is a network of networks. It lets millions of computers communicate with each other. The Web is a major part. However, people now often use applications that are not Web-based, like on social networks and mobile devices like the iPhone. Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web as a way to help people share information. His early work brought the Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, used to create Web pages. It also gave us the Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- the HTTP before Web addresses. By two thousand eight, Google reported that the number of Web pages had passed one trillion. Steve Bratt is chief executive of the World Wide Web Foundation. He says the Foundation wants everyone to be able to use this information.He says: "Our main purpose is to advance the Web to empower people." Partnerships with the Web Science Trust and the World Wide Web Consortium aim to create applications that make the Web more user-friendly. Steve Bratt says mobile technology is an important part of that work, as more and more people use their phones to go online. He says: "We have to make the Web a lot easier to use even on the simplest and least expensive mobile phones." For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villarreal.
(Adapted from a radio program broadcast 08Nov2010)

The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wrote the first web browser in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland.

Web pages are primarily text documents formatted and annotated with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In addition to formatted text, web pages may contain images, video, and software components that are rendered in the user's web browser as coherent pages of multimedia content. Embedded hyperlinks permit users to navigate between web pages. Multiple web pages with a common theme, a common domain name, or both, may be called a website. Website content can largely be provided by the publisher, or interactive where users contribute content or the content depends upon the user or their actions. Websites may be mostly informative, primarily for entertainment, or largely for commercial purposes.

The mission of the organization is "to establish the open Web as a global public good and a basic right, ensuring that everyone can access and use it freely". The foundation works in two areas, A free and open Web and Open Democracy, to reach the objectives of the organization.

Reception

When announcing the foundation, Berners-Lee discussed a system to label websites for their trustworthiness. According to the BBC he said "there needed to be new systems that would give websites a label for trustworthiness once they had been proved reliable sources." The New Scientist criticized the formation of an organization to tell others what is true or not.

In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee: World wide web needs bill of rights.
The inventor of the world wide web has marked the 25th anniversary of his creation by calling for a 'Magna Carta' bill of rights to protect its users.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee told BBC Breakfast the issue could be compared to the importance of human rights.
He has been an outspoken critic of government surveillance following a series of leaks from ex-US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Sir Tim called on people to take action and protest against surveillance.
'Communal decision'
He told BBC Breakfast the online community has now reached a crossroads.
"It's time for us to make a big communal decision," he said. "In front of us are two roads - which way are we going to go?
"Are we going to continue on the road and just allow the governments to do more and more and more control - more and more surveillance?
"Or are we going to set up a bunch of values? Are we going to set up something like a Magna Carta for the world wide web and say, actually, now it's so important, so much part of our lives, that it becomes on a level with human rights?"
Sir Tim said the internet should be a "neutral" medium that can be used without feeling "somebody's looking over our shoulder".
He called for vigilance against surveillance by its users, adding: "The people of the world have to be constantly aware, constantly looking out for it - constantly making sure through action, protest, that it doesn't happen."
Sir Tim has previously warned that surveillance could threaten the democratic nature of the web.
He has also spoken out in support of Mr Snowden, saying his actions were "in the public interest".
The idea that the world wide web would end up playing such a huge role in people's lives would have seemed "crazy" 25 years ago, said Sir Tim.
He admitted that the web represented "humanity connected", involving both the "wonderful" and the "ghastly".
But he added: "I don't have a lot of sympathy with people who say: 'There's so much rubbish on the web.'
"Well, if there's so much rubbish, if it's rubbish, don't read it. Go read something else."
The web we want campaign has been set up by Sir Tim'sWorld Wide Web Foundation to coincide with the 25th anniversary and aims to protect human rights online.

I'm AlexVillarreal with the VOASpecial EnglishTechnologyReport, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish
The world has almost seven billion people. At least two billion are expected to be on the Internet by January. New growth is mostly from developing countries. Yet only twenty-one percent of their population is online. A group called the World Wide Web Foundation is working to make the Web more usable to more of the world. Tim Berners-Lee is the British computer scientist who invented the World Wide Web. He announced the launch of the Web Foundation last November.The group says many people can access the Web but are unable to use it. The biggest reason is illiteracy. The latest United Nations report says almost eight hundred million adults are unable to read or write. Even for those who can read, much of the information that is available on the Web is not in a language they can understand. Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the idea for the World Wide Web in nineteen eighty-nine. This was twenty years after Americans developed the first version of what we know as the Internet. The Internet is a network of networks. It lets millions of computers communicate with each other. The Web is a major part. However, people now often use applications that are not Web-based, like on social networks and mobile devices like the iPhone. Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web as a way to help people share information. His early work brought the Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, used to create Web pages. It also gave us the Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- the HTTP before Web addresses. By two thousand eight, Google reported that the number of Web pages had passed one trillion. Steve Bratt is chief executive of the World Wide Web Foundation. He says the Foundation wants everyone to be able to use this information.He says: "Our main purpose is to advance the Web to empower people." Partnerships with the Web Science Trust and the World Wide Web Consortium aim to create applications that make the Web more user-friendly. Steve Bratt says mobile technology is an important part of that work, as more and more people use their phones to go online. He says: "We have to make the Web a lot easier to use even on the simplest and least expensive mobile phones." For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villarreal.

The creator of the world wide web, has been outlining new ways of democratising the internet for the vast majority of the worlds population who are not online.
Tim Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web Foundation during the Internet Governance Forum at Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, where the Council of Europe has been making its presence felt with calls for greater respect of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
The World Wide Web Foundation develops programs to advance the Web as a medium that empowers people to bring about positive change.
It brings together business leaders, technology innovators, academia, governments, non-governmental organisations, experts, developers and end users to tackle internet access-related issues on a global scale.

Artificial intelligence bots posting sexist tweets, search engines displaying worse job advertisements to women, smart toys embracing stereotypes and disparities in global data collection… As we move into a world of automated decision-making and our lives are increasingly in the hands of Big Data and its algorithms, the question of whether these hands are gender-neutral is becoming increasingly critical.
While necessary discussions on how to effectively break the ‘glass ceiling’ go on, the time has come to start thinking seriously about how current glass data walls are being built.
- How acute is algorithmic gender discrimination?
- What are the drivers behind algorithmic gender bias, and how can they be countered?
- Which should be the priorities for gender equality and the empowerment of women in the digital age?
- How can technology, law, or ethics help break the new glass data walls?

Craig Heintzman: Development Associate, World Wide Web Foundation

Craig joined the World Wide Web Foundation in July 2008 to help develop the initial financial and business operations. In 2009, he began building the foundation's development strategy and coordinating fundraising efforts.The World Wide Web Foundation is an international non-profit founded by web inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, that seeks to advance the Web and empower people. They received a generous pledge of $5m from the Knight Foundation to seed operations and are now building a diverse community of supporters while getting ready to launch publicly. Through the active management of focused programs, they aim to make the Web a viable option for the billions who are currently unable to derive value from it while ensuring that the Web as a whole remains safe from major threats. Their work will span multiple sectors, actors, regions, and demographics but will focus initially on developing countries given the unique needs of the people and the opportunities presented by the quick spread of mobile phones. Prior to joining the Web Foundation, Craig consulted startup technology-based companies on how to solicit and acquire equity financing from venture capital firms. In 2006, Craig interned as Business Development and Market ResearchCoordinator with energy management and consulting firm, EnergyAdvantage, where he was responsible for developing new services and presenting them to new and existing clients. Craig received a Bachelor of CommerceDegree with Honours and pursued a secondary degree in Philosophy from Queen's University in Canada. While in his final year, he was admitted into the Tricolour Venture Fund program and MBA course on Financing New Ventures. In between work engagements, Craig spent time travelling through over 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

How has the internet empowered you? | Web Foundation

We asked partners from our Women's RightsOnline network how they've been empowered by access to the web, or witnessed someone be empowered through access to the web. Here are their responses.
About Us:
As the digital revolution steams ahead, women and girls are being left behind — poor urban women in the developing world are 50% less likely than men to access the internet. Determined to tackle this challenge head on, our Women’s Rights Online network aims to drive women's empowerment on and through the web. Using a blend of research, policy advocacy and storytelling, we’re working to reform policy and regulation to close the digital gender gap.

BBC Sir Tim Berners-Lee: World wide web needs bill of rights

Video recurso para www.Necomundo.com
Texto de BBC del día:
Sir Tim Berners-Lee: World wide web needs bill of rights.
The inventor of the world wide web has marked the 25th anniversary of his creation by calling for a 'Magna Carta' bill of rights to protect its users.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee told BBC Breakfast the issue could be compared to the importance of human rights.
He has been an outspoken critic of government surveillance following a series of leaks from ex-US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Sir Tim called on people to take action and protest against surveillance.
'Communal decision'
He told BBC Breakfast the online community has now reached a crossroads.
"It's time for us to make a big communal decision," he said. "In front of us are two roads - which way are we going to go?
"Are we going to continue on the road and just allow the governments to do more and more and more control - more and more surveillance?
"Or are we going to set up a bunch of values? Are we going to set up something like a Magna Carta for the world wide web and say, actually, now it's so important, so much part of our lives, that it becomes on a level with human rights?"
Sir Tim said the internet should be a "neutral" medium that can be used without feeling "somebody's looking over our shoulder".
He called for vigilance against surveillance by its users, adding: "The people of the world have to be constantly aware, constantly looking out for it - constantly making sure through action, protest, that it doesn't happen."
Sir Tim has previously warned that surveillance could threaten the democratic nature of the web.
He has also spoken out in support of Mr Snowden, saying his actions were "in the public interest".
The idea that the world wide web would end up playing such a huge role in people's lives would have seemed "crazy" 25 years ago, said Sir Tim.
He admitted that the web represented "humanity connected", involving both the "wonderful" and the "ghastly".
But he added: "I don't have a lot of sympathy with people who say: 'There's so much rubbish on the web.'
"Well, if there's so much rubbish, if it's rubbish, don't read it. Go read something else."
The web we want campaign has been set up by Sir Tim'sWorld Wide Web Foundation to coincide with the 25th anniversary and aims to protect human rights online.

ForEveryone.net | The web, past and future | Web Foundation

ForEveryone.net connects the future of the web with the little-known story of its birth. In 1989, 33-year-old computer programmer Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and his visionary decision to make it a free and accessible resource sparked a global revolution in communication. Tim has called to protect privacy and free speech, extend connectivity to populations without access and maintain “one web” for all.

Making the World Wide Web More Usable to a Wider World

I'm AlexVillarreal with the VOASpecial EnglishTechnologyReport, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish
The world has almost seven billion people. At least two billion are expected to be on the Internet by January. New growth is mostly from developing countries. Yet only twenty-one percent of their population is online. A group called the World Wide Web Foundation is working to make the Web more usable to more of the world. Tim Berners-Lee is the British computer scientist who invented the World Wide Web. He announced the launch of the Web Foundation last November.The group says many people can access the Web but are unable to use it. The biggest reason is illiteracy. The latest United Nations report says almost eight hundred million adults are unable to read or write. Even for those who can read, much of the information that is available on the Web is not in a language they can understand. Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the idea for the World Wide Web in nineteen eighty-nine. This was twenty years after Americans developed the first version of what we know as the Internet. The Internet is a network of networks. It lets millions of computers communicate with each other. The Web is a major part. However, people now often use applications that are not Web-based, like on social networks and mobile devices like the iPhone. Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web as a way to help people share information. His early work brought the Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, used to create Web pages. It also gave us the Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- the HTTP before Web addresses. By two thousand eight, Google reported that the number of Web pages had passed one trillion. Steve Bratt is chief executive of the World Wide Web Foundation. He says the Foundation wants everyone to be able to use this information.He says: "Our main purpose is to advance the Web to empower people." Partnerships with the Web Science Trust and the World Wide Web Consortium aim to create applications that make the Web more user-friendly. Steve Bratt says mobile technology is an important part of that work, as more and more people use their phones to go online. He says: "We have to make the Web a lot easier to use even on the simplest and least expensive mobile phones." For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villarreal.
(Adapted from a radio program broadcast 08Nov2010)

The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wrote the first web browser in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland.

Web pages are primarily text documents formatted and annotated with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In addition to formatted text, web pages may contain images, video, and software components that are rendered in the user's web browser as coherent pages of multimedia content. Embedded hyperlinks permit users to navigate between web pages. Multiple web pages with a common theme, a common domain name, or both, may be called a website. Website content can largely be provided by the publisher, or interactive where users contribute content or the content depends upon the user or their actions. Websites may be mostly informative, primarily for entertainment, or largely for commercial purposes.

Software Foundation for High-Performance Fabrics in the Cloud

In this video from the 2018 OpenFabrics Workshop, Bill Magro from Intel presents: SoftwareFoundation for High-Performance Fabrics in the Cloud.
"Artificial Intelligence and HighPerformanceData Analytics workloads in the cloud are being fed by a deluge of data emanating from the Internet-connected population or people and things. Autonomous driving will deliver even more data to the cloud. Finally, High-Performance computing use is growing in the cloud. More and more cloud workloads now demand high performance from their fabrics, and these workloads are also imposing new requirements beyond those driven by traditional simulation and modeling.
This talk highlights the broadening role of OpenFabrics, in general, and the Open Fabrics Interface, in particular, to rise to the challenge of meeting the emerging requirements and become the software foundation for high-performance cloud fabrics."
